The rubber casing on my sides floats without touching the bottom. Do you get to see your speaker grill too? Can check and see if you can press the sides and it touches the bottom and go back to float?
Perhaps, with recent reports from some M1 Macbook owners, that their screens cracked by themselves or by accidentally having some tiny-tiny debree between keyboard and screen, when closing, you should be happy that theres more room between screen and keyboard for accidental crack protection 
?
?when i press the screen and bottomm together theres a clear flex. Does everyone have it?
i dont know, im worried if i have a bent screenPerhaps, with recent reports from some M1 Macbook owners, that their screens cracked by themselves or by accidentally having some tiny-tiny debree between keyboard and screen, when closing, you should be happy that theres more room between screen and keyboard for accidental crack protection
can you see if the display flexes when you press both please? mine flexes very clearly
Yes, I can see the top of the display move slightly when I press on the sides when it's closed. Completely normal.
My battery doesn't drop for a while after i plug it out. Then the percentage decreases quite fast than normal. The percentage doesnt drop for the first 30 to 60min at all after plugging it out. Also if I restart the mac, the percentage goes up. And now i just found out my screen time shows 24hrs on my mac. I only used it for 3hrs and i closed the mac. Please help regarding theseNo it is not
And what battery issues are you having
The battery status indicator is not a fixed exact measurement as for instance liquid fuel in a tank. There are exactly a specified amount of fuel in the tank at any given time, and the total tank volume is fixed.
Counting percentage in a lithium battery cell is more of a guess work exactly how many ions there are at a given time on the positive and negative side. The percentage is calculated based on a lot of (really good) assumptions really. External factors are at play too, temperature etc.
That's why the percentage can't be linear, will jump sometimes, show 100% for long and then drop faster a while, and can differ after a restart.
All in all - there's probably nothing wrong with your Mac.
